How to Stop the Snowball of Anxiety?

I try to think of something else or flick that thought away in my mind in order to get it to leave me alone, or meditate to get my mind cleared.

what helps me is realizing the behaviors i use when im about to go into a negative state of mind, and i intervene then. it can be hard but maybe that will help

I use several apps for meditation but I find getting up and outside for a long walk helpful.

Started using cbd gummies and they helped me a lot :)
